It receives the external nasal veins of the [[ala nasi]], and communicates with the [[superior ophthalmic vein]] through the [[nasofrontal vein]], thus establishing an important [[anastomosis]] between the [[anterior facial vein]] and the [[cavernous sinus]]. ==Additional images== <gallery> Image:Gray515.png|Bloodvessels of the eyelids, front view. </gallery> ==External links== * {{eMedicineDictionary|Angular+vein}} * [http://www.stchas.edu/divisions/aao/ace/science/modelpics/circulatory/head.shtml Diagram at stchas.edu] * http://www.dartmouth.edu/~humananatomy/figures/chapter_47/47-5.HTM {{Gray's}} {{VeinsHeadNeck}} {{circulatory-stub}} [[Category:Veins]] [[th:หลอดเลือดดำแองกูลาร์]]
